No need to choose site beforehand, just book and you can choose your site once you arrive as your party will be the only ones there to enjoy the great outdoors! After Memorial Day, there is a porta potty on site. There is a large firepit and plenty of wood for fires (when there isn't a fire ban). There are trails all over for walking or there are trailheads just a short drive away if you want to hike. The river is a 30 second-1minute walk from the campsite. Perfect area to pitch a hammock and enjoy the sounds of nature. The campground is 5 miles away from the Mazama Store which sells amazing food (sandwiches, pastries, cookies, and the famous Sea Salt Baguettes). There is also a portable basketball hoop and a tether ball pole. Group rates available.

The property goes right up to the beautiful Lost River, where there are rocks galore for Rockhounds, or just sitting and enjoying the views and sounds of Nature!

This campsite offers a serene and secluded experience right by the river, perfect for families, dogs, and anyone looking to unwind amidst nature. Guests appreciate the clear instructions from the host and the proximity to local amenities like the Mazama store. While there are ample activities like fishing, biking, and stargazing, a few reviews mention the lack of privacy if multiple groups are present. Overall, the peaceful environment and river access make it a favored spot for returning campers.

Great, private location.

We had a great time for Father's Day weekend! The location was beautiful and the river access was amazing. The guys enjoyed fly fishing and the kids loved throwing rocks into the water, playing in the sand/dirt, and we all loved having the place to ourselves. The dogs could run off leash and enjoy a swim. We will definitely be back.

We camped 3 nights with our two young boys and dog and didn't want to leave. So quiet and secluded, really felt like a peaceful place. We even got our youngest to learn how to ride a pedal bike with no training wheels. Great memories were made, we'll be back, probably not soon enough.

We weren’t there very long since we only stayed the night to get up early for a nearby sunrise hike, however, the campsite had the best stargazing! Tracy’s instructions on how to get there were very clear. Would definitely recommend!

We brought our 19’ Travel trailer. Worked ok. Don’t bring anything longer. We liked the remote setting by the river. Darrel

We loved our time! Simple but great setup, can accommodate lots of rigs, super private, awesome trails to explore, close to the Mazama store, and can’t beat being right on the river (though it was dry while we were there). The perfect spot for our dog and toddler to explore and romp! We will 100% be back with a larger group.

Mazama gem

What a secret little spot in the Methow valley! Minutes from the Mazama store with power water and your own access to the river. Great for hanging with friends. I’ll be back!

We had a great trip! Plenty of room for a large group! The river is very close and shallow, it is perfect for the kids to play in. We had some thunderstorms and the undercover picnic table was perfect so we didn't get wet. Tracy was a great host and answered any questions I had very quickly. We will definitely be back!

Very large campsite with private river access. My wife and I loved it, especially watching the sunset on the river. I unexpectedly had 1 bar with AT&T on my iPhone, which was sufficient for slow texting.

I ended up being the only person at this site and appreciate the amenities, but if your looking for privacy from the other campers this isn't the place to say. It setup very much like a community with a large fire pit in the middle

Private campsite by the water

Very secluded site right by the water we enjoyed our time here. The water was very close and the views were nice. No one else was there when we were. It was a bit tricky to get the electricity set up but not too bad.

We had a great time. Our site was next to the river (200 ft or so) which was perfect for cooling off from the upper 90s temperatures. we absolutely loved the Mazama store and the public house across the street from the store. Make sure you follow her directions because it’s a little confusing. And GPS and really screw you up. Tracy was very helpful with all my stupid questions I had. We were the only ones there.

This spot was a gem! It was 100 degrees but there was plenty of shade and the river pools to float around in and stay cool. I will be back thank you for sharing such a cool peaceful spot to enjoy.

We rolled in and had the whole place all to ourselves, took #2 site which is a very short walk to the river. The area is beautiful and peaceful, the sound of the river is great way to unwind. Loved the Mazama store and the Public House is an excellent place for dinner and cider. Absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back again.

Nice and spacious, and of course a great location! No water/electricity available when we stayed but we didn’t need that, just needed a base camp for hikes in the area, which this campground is perfect for!

Site 2 w/River Views

5 m Class C · With pets

This site is a private clearing in the woods in the quaint town of Mazama. We parked our pickup camper in site 2. You could just peep the river out the back door. The river was super low but still had a few pristine swimming hole spots. Power and water connection were easy, hosts directions were spot on. The site was private as we were the only ones there, had there been other folks camping it wouldn’t have felt the same as there’s no privacy between sites. The only bummer of the whole thing is the wildfire that broke out the night before our arrival. It was really smoky, ash was falling through the air, hindered the experience. The fire also prompted the closure of Hwy 20 to the west, which meant we couldn’t complete our trip through the North Cascades. Ideally the host could have shared a little insight regarding conditions. Overall really cool site just unfortunate circumstances.
